Announcing Fastly Real-Time Log Streaming to Honeycomb!

There are two sides to the observability coin–instrumentation (creating the data) and observation (making sense of the data).

Fastly helps the world’s most popular digital businesses keep pace with their customer expectations by delivering fast, secure, and scalable online experiences. Businesses trust Fastly’s edge cloud platform to accelerate the pace of technical innovation, mitigate evolving threats, and scale on demand.

Fastly delivers excellent instrumentation accessible via its logging APIs. And today, Honeycomb is bringing excellent observability to that data.

Have you ever wanted to know:

• The ratio of cache hits on your site?
• The difference in response time based on cache and content?
• The volume of hits to a specific URL on a per-IP, per-country basis?

This backend integration allows any Fastly customer to add Honeycomb as an endpoint for their Real-Time Log Streaming in a few simple steps.

We’ve partnered with the fine folks at RubyGems to create a public dataset showing what Fastly’s Real-Time Log Stream looks like in Honeycomb. You can explore rubygems.org traffic at https://www.honeycomb.io/fastly today!
